-The Deepest. This subwoofer goes down to 16 Hz (anechoic response), creating sound so real you not only hear it - you actually feel it. Sure, claims of 16 Hz are made every day by manufacturers, but you'll only hear it if the sub is in a tiny closet-like room like the one they're measuring in. The EP600 is the first subwoofer to ever achieve it anechoically, in a room with no boundaries. You'll actually hear it all - guaranteed - and in most rooms, you'll even experience 15 Hz!


                                   

Audio Listening: I have to use the Carver M 4.0T power Amplifier to play music

      Field power Amplifier
  Power:  350 watts RMS per channel 8Ω both channel driven,

Carver Preamplifier: C-15v Audio/Video Preamplifier

 

 
Testing:  Axiom Audio M80 V2 Floorstanding Loudspeakers
   
Two channel Audio music:
 

 

Outstanding sound when listening the Telarc Ein Straussfest  by Cincinnati Pops Orchestra,
     they play back with full-range sound to ultra low frequency, the sound is so pronouced , you can
     hear and feel every instruments that are so detail high and low frequency.
     When I use the Carver M 4.0T Amplifier, it can produce deeper and tighter bass  feature the 
     Carver Silver Seven Vacumm Tube Reference Amplifier which was designed over ten years ago. 
     The Axiom Audio M80 V2 Speakers sounds much more powerful and more dynamic than my
     Yamaha RX-A3030 with 150 watts RMS receiver.
